engine conversions in melbourne

[blutopless2]

can anyone point me in the direction of a workshop that would do engine conversions/swaps????
want to talk to someone who would have knowledge of what i can and can't do.

What car/engine combination?

Only one place actively offers 20v conversions and that's in Canberra.

new beetle... currently a 2.slow.... wanting something to up the ante.

There are a few bolt on supercharger kits that you can get but they are $$$ and mostly in the USA. Good luck though.

[blutopless2]

yeah looked at them years ago... neuspeed i think had them... but only for left hand drive.

Just turbo it (a LHD kit will be ok) or fit a 24v VR6 :) The cost will be about the same either way - plus suspension and brake upgrades.

Just trade it in on a turbo NB.Don't build a car that VW already made------------ or you can bring to me in Canberra and it will cost more to turbo than trade up( just kidding)

[blutopless2]

they dont make the turbo beetle anymore... and certainly wasn't available in the convertible.

i feel for you. i have a beetle as a loan car and it can barely move. sell the car and buy a gti golf.

[blutopless2]

nah. don't want a golf though. just want some more power.
